Ok. I have read other threads on exterior rust. My is on inside. Bought truck 11/10. It had 505 miles at purchase. siad it was shipped on a trade from Arlington,WA to Hillsboro,OR. Only thing. Its opnly a 240 mile trip. Anyway. That night. rust on rear seats and bracket on rear seat of crew cab(underneath). Fabric dry rust. They took care of problem. Today at 17,800 miles. Truck kept wel care of. Im looking at getting brake cntroller to go in empty slot. i look under neath for a plug in an dI notice a lot of rust on steering linkage, shaft, brackets, supports for dash, welds, etc etc. both sides welds metal pitted with that powder rust ect. Seat brackets inside rusted. Ill quit. Thats not normal. 1st truck I ahve ver had that looks like this. sepearte dealer looking into truck history monday. What do all of you think???????

Just worried on what if from here on out. Im not happy

 

Your location says oregon, are you close to the ocean....salt air...?
Also, if you`re running the heater on "REC", your cab is full of moisture...! That will cause rust.
Turn the heater mode to "fresh air", dry out the inside of the cab. Never use the "REC" unless its super hot outside.

 

Going thru similiar rust problems with all of my seats center console and numerous nuts and bolts. I just had rear window leak sealed which caused mildew smell inside. Truck is still under warranty however dealership is being very hesistant to fix anything. I go to dealership tonight to have them take pictures to send to chrysler to get stuff covered. Now I gotta look under dash. What a nightmare this is.

 

I live near portland. I dont use "rec". this is my first truck that has done this. ive had a chevy, all others for last 19yrs dodge. this truck has been the worst for interior rust. i had the rust under seat in rear as stated. never had rust under dash. i should have kept my 96 dodge cummins. i havent heard from dealer a of today. thanks for replies

 

I contacted chrysler customer service and they opened a claim case and are now working with the dealership to try and resolve the issue. I will keep you updated. Sounds like I should have an answer by Friday but I am not holding my breath.

 

Did you check to make sure the third brake light is sealed and not leaking?

 

fbar-thanks. brake light appears normal. after washing,etc. doesnt look like any leaks

 

Can we see a photo of what your describing.

 

ill get photos after work today and post

 

Ok. Here are the photos. They are in a photo bucket library, hopefully it works. There is a lot more. photos are under neath at drive shaft, etc. Under drivers and passenger dash, rear seat underneath. Under seat it had been fixed. rust still there. Is it normal under seay at rear to have cut outs like in photo where my hand is. Two parts in hand fell down from drivers dash, where do they go? If you want more let me know.

Use the 1283 beta photobucket. That works. What a pain. I not even 18,000 on truck
